    As others have said, running on the road is a little harder on the feet and legs than the other activites. You have already got a good start in building aerobic capacity. Keep running outside and it will get easier pretty quickly as your feet and legs adjust and you get accustomed to running in the weather and on varying terrain.

    Also, as others have said, if it feels too hard then slow down to a pace you can sustain. The fast running will come to you as your aerobic capacity continues to develop. (It will develop a lot more as you have to work pretty hard continuously for around 10 years to max it out.)

    Thanks for all your advice, i think where i went wrong initially is running too fast and not having anything to listen too - i will know better next time. I will persevere with the running as it's something i want to master, i intend to run the 5k race for life this summer. So again many thanks you've really helped xx
